Rhine River Cruises for Solo Travellers

Explore

Passing through six countries, the Rhine is the perfect river for those who want to visit some of Europe’s most famous site, including areas of natural beauty and historic cities.

We’ve created a collection of Rhine river cruises specifically for solo travellers, where you can enjoy all the incredible experiences that our cruises offer – think sailing past lush vineyards, visiting centuries-old castles and exploring the winding alleyways of quaint towns and cities - but with some extras for those who travel solo.

  • Direct flights from 13 UK airports with no regional supplements & transfers
  • Insightful excursions & visits with local guides
  • Accommodation on board a boutique ship
  • Luxury double cabin all to yourself, with window or French balcony
  • Meet & greet at your UK departure point
  • Welcome dinner and drinks to get to know your fellow travellers
  • Expert Tour Manager that specialises in solo travel, looking after you throughout

Travel solo, yet never alone

The Riviera holiday begins from your departure point

The Tour Manager will meet you at the airport (or Eurostar station), check in and travel there with you. Where this isn’t possible, a Riviera team member will greet you at the airport, help you check in and introduce you to other members in the group.

Less is more with small group sizes

The maximum group size of our solo tours is just 25 people. This gives a more intimate and personalised experience. For ocean and river cruising, it depends on your ship size. Our yacht cruises having a maximum of just 19 cabins, so just 19 guests!

Expert Tour Manager looking after you throughout

Our Riviera Tour Managers specialise in solo travel. They’ll ensure you feel safe and welcome, making your trip one to remember (you should learn lots from them too)!

Break the ice at the welcome dinner

To get to know your fellow travellers, you’ll enjoy a welcome dinner and drink at the beginning of your holiday. It’s the perfect start to the holiday. Your wonderful Tour Manager will ensure you never dine alone (unless you choose to).​
